Quickly unburdening yourself of any money at your disposal seems to
be what going to university is all about these days and nowhere is
this more evident than in the UK. British students must be
rejoicing then at the announcement of the UK Student Poker
Championship, due to take place in Edinburgh, Scotland, over the
first weekend in April.
Capped at 300 players, all of whom have to be enrolled in
full-time university education, the event is being billed as the
biggest ever in the UK, with the final winner not only taking a
cash prize but also a seat at this years World Series of Poker Main
Event. A buy-in for the tournament is a mere £30, and with any
student finishing in the top 30 guaranteed £100, you can guarantee
that there will be plenty of cash spent in Edinburgh, undoubtedly
in most of its late opening bars, on the last night of the
tourney.
With 40 universities affiliated to ukstudentpoker.com, who are
running the event, you can be sure there’ll be plenty of hangers-on
too waiting for the winners to pick up their tab.
